Business Associations I

Description: An introductory course that primarily surveys state laws governing the formation and operation of closely-held business associations, including partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and closely-held corporations. The course will cover the choice of business entity, forming and financing business enterprises, agency, and the relationship among business owners.

The American Bar Association accreditation standards require students to regularly attend the courses in which they are registered. Lewis & Clark expects students to attend classes regularly and to prepare for classes conscientiously. Specific attendance requirements may vary from course to course. Any attendance guidelines for a given class must be provided to students in a syllabus or other written document at the start of the semester. Sanctions (e.g., required withdrawal from the course, grade adjustment, and/or a failing grade) will be imposed for poor attendance.
